Vascular Pack Sterilization Assurance Requirements Cannot Be Confirmed
American Contract Systems cannot confirm Major Vascular Pack surgical kits were properly sterilized. Sterilization assurance failure could result in loss of functionality and delayed patient treatment.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II FDA recall of a medical device (vascular pack) used in surgical procedures. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, but the failure to confirm sterilization assurance presents a risk-of-harm: non-sterile surgical equipment could compromise patient safety and delay necessary treatment.
